Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wavetable
◎ Appearance
Wavetable presents a pale golden hue with a slight haze characteristic of the New England IPA style. The head is dense and persistent, leaving fine Schaumkleiden down the glass. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, supporting the beer's refreshing character.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by ripe stone and tropical fruit—mango and guava emerge as primary notes, layered with bright citrus undertones. A subtle resinous and herbaceous character follows, reminiscent of cannabis without overwhelming the fruit-forward profile. The hop intensity is evident but balanced by a clean malt base.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with full tropical fruit character, maintaining the mango and guava notes found on the nose while citrus acidity brightens the mid-palate. A moderate herbal and resinous bitterness develops smoothly, finishing at 45 IBU with restraint that preserves drinkability. The malt backbone is soft and unobtrusive, allowing hop expression to remain central.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering citrus and resinous notes that fade gracefully without harshness. Drinkability remains the hallmark, encouraging another sip.
